Binkley presented his resigns^ tion eas a member at large ot the City Council, this action being taken as he contemplates leaving the city at an early date. Action upon the resignation was deterred.

Ttae subject was referred to a committee consisting of Members Orubb, Binkley and Lower. Later ln tbe session W. B. Hassett of the Board of Health, addressed .council stating that a Pittsburgh firm was desirous of bidding for the contract of handling the city's garbage. As it will require sixty days to Install such a plant as the company will erect If lt-secures the contract, it was urged that council act promptly ln regard to the proposed changes ln tbe garbage ordinance.

The finance committee recommended the passage of an Ordinance to fix the salary of the street commissioner at $95 per month. The measure was given a second reading. Barnard Favors Snow Cleaning. President Barnard suggested that it was time to consider what sidewalks are. to be laid in the city this year and to get busy on the required legislation. He also thought the city should have an ordinance requiring the cleaning of snow ahd Ice from the sidewalks. Mr. Lower said he thought lt was tbe duty of council to take up the question of revising the ordinances of the elty. Thought the city had many ordinances that are useless and obsolete and others that are void. He believed lt would be to the best Interests of the city to bave the ordinances revised and the worthless ones stricken out. Attention was called to the traffic ordinance which haa been revised several times, but wbich is b<e- ing continually violated. Mr. Penlck thought that if council passes such ordinances that it is up to tbe executive department of the city to mo that the regulations are enforced. He said he did not believe in continually changing the regulations. At 8:12 o'clock councU adjourned.

She stated the blind commission for the state was organized n 1912 and grew out of an organization of a private character founded ln 1908. Since the state commission wae formed lt was decided that a proper place to work was in the schools of the state and devote attention to pupils with defective vision bad been formed ln schools of many cities and for that purpose they had come to Alliance and made a hasty examination of the schools to find there were those ln Alliance that needed careful protection ana treatment to preserve vision. The next speaker was Mr. Irwin, a Mind man, and superintendent of the schools or classes in detective vision in Cleveland wbo told of tbe work in the special classes. He stated that state funds to the amount of $200 for a school year, for each pupil ln such classes, had been provided for by the state and explained such classes.

Miss Mary Taylor the school nurse, was present and was asked how many children she had found with defective vision of the city schools of Buch an extent as to be very serious and she stat ed from 6 to 10. Three of• these had been forbidden by physicians to attend school. By the law of the stat-e a class cannot consist of less than 3 nor should It be of more than 10. Mr. Irwin discussed tbe stages of blindness as recognized by the law and the blind commission and these varied from the totally blind to those able to read headUn.es In a newspaper but not the common print. # The story of the blind was a sad but Instructive one and many questions were asked for Mr. Irwin to answer which he did satisfactorily snd much interest was shown In the subject by the board. At the conclusion of the talk the matter of organizing a class for those of defective vision was referred by ffioUon to the board as a committee to consider and take definite acUon upon In the near future. The school nurse Miss Taylor, and Miss Mabel Hartsell a member ot the board were appointed to go to Cleveland Wednesday and inspect tbe work ot the blind In classes in that city snd also thc work of the open air school.

BELL S*m*m Five Thousand Excited Men and Women Fill City Hall Park—"Sweet Marie" Ganz, After Being Deceived by Police Ruse, Re-addresses Crowd and Stirs Them to Further Rioting Until Police Arrest Her — East Side Tenement Dwellers—Wild Scenes as Women Shriek and Babies Cry. International News Sen lee. New Yofk, N. Y.. Feb. 20—Ont of the Ghetto and the East Side tenements there swarmed today bundreads of women screaming "we are starved —we want bread." They swooped down upon the city hall, where rioting and scenes of disorder followed. Thousands of women of the ten*, ment district fell Into the line, led by1 "Sweet Marie" Ganz. In a long line they came, old women, hobbling and stumbling, shawl-wrapped heads and young mothers holding aloft pale and wan babes. Their screams rent the air as traffic officers attempted to break up the parade.of protest. Thetr numbers had dwindled by the time they reached the city hall and began loud cries of hunger. Plaintive walls from crying babes and the shrieks of enraged women—like an echo of the peasant revolutions of Europe—all added to the intense excitement. Demands for Mayor Mitchel failed to bring out the chief executive, but instead thsre came mounted po- llcejnen. '-j-',*1* '.' Within a few minutes after the vanguard- arrived and assailed the doors of city hall, more than five thousand •excited men ahd women filled city hall park and a second call for reserve police went in. Down Park Row tbere came hundreds of eager spectators lured on by the first riot scenes New Tork has seen for many a day. Business men from the financial district and shops nearby added to the throng which jammed ln upon the city hall. Then there came the long line of stragglers. A line of police was formed from the city ball and stormed by the screeching women, many of them holding babies aloft and crying out: "You see them—they are starving. We want bread." Orders went out from police headquarters for tbe dispersal of the mob and traffic officers along the line of march drove tbe women still on tbe way back to the tenement houses. Lieutenant William Kennell, the mayor's aide, finally appeared at the doors of the city hall. The sight of the uniformed side was the signal for a new outburst from tbo mob. Finally lt quieted sufficiently for Kennell to announce that tbe mayor would receive a delegation of the women. There were Immediately cries of "Marie, Marie, Sweet Marie." A little woman made her way up the city hall steps and there were loud cheers for "Marie"—"Sweet Ma rie" Ganz was the first delegate to the mayor. She chose for he associates Mrs. Ida Harris, president of the Mother Vigilance League of the East Bide; Mrs. Tlllie J. Plosky and Mrs. Annie Walker, both leaders in the tenement districts. "Sweet Marie" Is Dupsd. Once In the corridors ot the city hall the delegation found they had been deceived. Mayor Mitchel was not in his office and it was announced he might not be in all day. Rushing out to the city hall steps Marie Ganz told the crowd they had been betrayed and haranguing her fol* lowers, she succeeded In starting anew the screeching and yelling. Suddenly she wus seized from behind by four husky policemen and dragged Into the building where sho was detain* ed and tben arrested for disorderly; conduct. Robbed of Its leaders once more tbd roar of thousands of voices went np and Uttie Benjamin Bernstein, 16, thia and scrawny, arose on the steps and addressed the crowd: Lad Makes Pathetic Appeal. "I am starving," cried the lad as tears swept down his pale face. "I've got a sister and a mother and a fatb* er and we all live on $3 a week." Thea the boy was swept Into the malestront and his plaintive cries ot protest were drowned by the moans and shrieks of the rioters as mounted police madq their way through the mob attempting to break It up. After more than an hour and a hall ot disorder and demonstration, police finally succeeded In scattering ths crowd In all directions and shrieking oaths and muttering threats the huh- dreds of women made they way bach to the Ghetto and the East Side, not ln an organized 'body but ln llttld groups, scatters dby the. police. Today's demonstration was an aften math of the food rioting yesterday iq Hester and Rivlngton streets and th« Williamsburg and Brownsville dl* trfcts. Incensed at the high prices charged by hucksters yesterday after. noon hundreds of the tenement hous-j women stormed push carta and street stands and wrecked them, scattering the produce ln the streets. Throngs of frantic women assailed the police and attempted to rescue their leader, "8weet Marie" GanS When she was being taken from ths city hail in a police patrol. Several times the women charged the officers and patrolmen were seratr-hed and clothing torn In the melon. The women were finally driven off and Marls was taken to the Elizabeth street po. lice Btatlon. Wanted $150,000 of Morgan. ' International Newn Service?. New York, N.
